MARIA.

Hi, I'm Maria. Loyalest fangirl of Running Society since 2018 – and team photographer.

THE BEGINNING.

Through Eisbachfit and a few Running Society events, I joined the Monday evening interval sessions for the first time in 2018. I had no athletic goal like faster, further, higher. I came because I knew the community – and that's why I stayed.

STORYTIME.

The partner workout in the Hofgarten is one of my favourite intervals. First, the Hofgarten is one of the most beautiful locations; second, I love short intervals; and third, there are always laughs because you can't immediately recognise your partner – especially in the dark.

One of my greatest achievements: first place at the Munich Marathon 2018 in the women's relay with Anni, Luisa and Rebecca. We still talk about how we completely unknowingly took first place in the relay.

WHY RS.

I'm at Running Society because I genuinely love the community and value the coaches. Monday evening intervals are a fixed part of my sports routine – even when I have no athletic goal or race to train for. I'm there because I enjoy it. And probably also because otherwise I'd never do intervals.

MY GOALS.

Getting a great photo of all the coaches at an amazing location.
